Choreographing Community Connectedness With Public Art: Elizabeth Queen The Bee Line and Life Line Murals

This week’s guest is an artist who is passionate about using art as a communal activity by bringing people from all walks of life to collaborate on public art projects not only to beautify the local community but to inspire community service. Our guest today is Elizabeth Queen, an artist who resides in Hendersonville, NC and has led several art projects in various media that accomplished that goal. She compares her directing of those projects as “choreography” which is a lovely way to think of getting people to work together to create something beautiful. She is going to tell us about some of the projects she has coordinated in her little town in North Carolina and the stories that unfolded as the art projects came together. She will focus on two sidewalk murals called “The Bee Line” and “The Life Line.”
